Martin Jean-Jacques (born 2 July 1960) is a Dominican-born English cricketer. During his eight years in first-class cricket, he played for Derbyshire and Hampshire.

Cricket career

Jean-Jacques was born in

five wickets in an innings on two occasions.[8] With the bat, he scored 587 runs at a batting average of 11.28.[9] In one-day cricket for Derbyshire, he took 43 wickets at an average of 33.86, with best figures of 3 for 22.[10]

With his contract at Derbyshire ending in 1992, several counties showed an interest in signing him.[3] Hampshire were one such county. They found themselves short of fast bowling options as Malcolm Marshall came toward the end of his career. With only the experienced Cardigan Connor to otherwise lead the attack, Hampshire signed Jean-Jacques.[4] He played first-class and one-day cricket for Hampshire until 1994, making seven first-class and nine one-day appearances.[6][2] In these, he took nine first-class wickets at an average of exactly 47 and nine one-day wickets at an average of 34.11.[8][10] During his two-year contract, Jean-Jacques struggled with his rhythm and pace, with his contract not being renewed by Hampshire upon its expiration.[3] Ultimately, a knee injury forced his permanent retirement from the county game.[11] He continued to play club cricket for Shepherd's Bush into the late 1990s.[12]
